What is SMILE laser vision correction?

One thing that distinguishes SMILE laser vision correction from other procedures is that it is a flapless procedure, which makes it different from LASIK. Unlike LASIK, SMILE laser vision correction does not require the creation of a flap.

SMILE laser vision correction is a procedure that reshapes the cornea, thereby correcting nearsightedness and astigmatism, allowing you to achieve the vision you desire. The procedure takes only 10-15 minutes to complete, making it minimally invasive and simple. You can correct your eyesight quickly and easily and get back to doing what you love.

How is SMILE laser vision correction Different from LASIK?

Although SMILE laser vision correction and LASIK may seem like very similar procedures, they have some differences. One of these is that LASIK corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. SMILE laser vision correction can only correct nearsightedness and astigmatism.

Am I a Good SMILE laser vision correction Candidate?

Because SMILE laser vision correction is a surgical procedure, it’s not something everyone can undergo. The only way to determine if you’re a good candidate for SMILE laser vision correction is to schedule a consultation at Mueller Vision in the Ft. Worth area. During your consultation we will conduct a comprehensive eye exam, including measuring your pupils, visual acuity, and more, to ensure that you’re a candidate for SMILE laser vision correction.

What Can I Expect During SMILE laser vision correction?

During the SMILE laser vision correction eye surgery procedure at Mueller Vision in Ft. Worth, we will begin by welcoming you and ensuring you feel comfortable. If you’re nervous, we may offer you a light sedative to help you relax. Once we go through any additional questions, we will begin the procedure.

Many patients notice immediate improvements in their vision following SMILE laser vision correction. The SMILE laser vision correction procedure only takes about ten to fifteen minutes to complete and is an incredible way to enhance your vision.

What is the Recovery from SMILE laser vision correction Like?

Once you’ve had SMILE laser vision correction, you’ll go home to recover. Although it is a surgical procedure, you don’t have to worry about an extended or lengthy recovery. Many patients find they can return to work the day after having SMILE laser vision correction, but every patient is different. A key component of your SMILE laser vision correction recovery is attending all follow-up appointments. After SMILE laser vision correction, most patients can drive, go to work, wear makeup, and participate in their favorite sports just a few days later.

Just had my cataract removed from my right eye by Dr. Mueller. Even though there was some nervousness on my part the surgery went well and was quite painless. Dr. Mueller and his staff are very attentive and explained everything to me beforehand and as he went during the procedure. My surgery is only a few days old but I can already tell a huge difference in my eyesight. I've never had a surgeon take the time to call me himself after a procedure to see how I was doing, but Dr. Mueller did exactly that, that evening. In my book you can't go wrong trusting your precious eyesight to Dr. Mueller! I'll be having my left eye done in a few days and am looking forward to seeing everything more clearly. My thanks to him and his staff as well as to the staff at the surgical facility where the procedure was done.

What a great visual experience from start to finish. That's no pun intended bc the office environment is visually appealing and relaxing as well. I just loved Dr.Crowell's energy. But only is she bubbly and energetic, but super knowledgeable as well. She patiently and honestly answered my questions as I went in with a specific concern. Instead of trying to drag me into surgery for the money, she was like "no big deal right now so let's just keep an eye on it."

Can here after discovering the EVO ICL option corrective eye surgery as an alternative to LASIK. Dr. Mueller and staff were nothing short of exceptional. They are very thorough with the pre op, surgery, and the extensive follow ups. My vision has dramatically improved and I’m already seeing 20/15 after 2 days of the procedure. For anyone considering this route, please try Mueller Vision. Dr. Mueller was one of the investigators giving trial to the FDA for getting EVO ICL approved!

My experience with Mueller Vision has been amazing! I had been battling recurrent corneal erosion after an eye injury for a tad over two years. Initially, I would have an episode every few months or so and I was kinda, sorta okay with that. Unfortunately the frequency of the erosions began increasing and that is when I decided to visit Meuller Vision. They performed a procedure (don't know the exact name of the procedure) to remove the damaged layer of my cornea. I am now three months post-op and so far, so good. Thank you to Alondra, Amy, Dr. Crowell and Dr. Meuller. You guys are great but I hope to never have to see you again.
